Introduction

Public Health England (PHE) is required to monitor and evaluate the NHS National Chlamydia Screening Programme (NCSP) through the reporting of data.

The Chlamydia Testing Activity Data Set collects information on all chlamydia testing commissioned by the NHS and carried out in all Laboratory settings in England. It includes results taken from all PATIENTS tested for Chlamydia in all NHS settings, or in non-healthcare settings and as part of the NHS National Chlamydia Screening Programme in England.

Public Health England (PHE) is required to monitor and evaluate the NHS National Chlamydia Screening Programme (NCSP) through the reporting of data.

Data Extract Specification

Description: Each Laboratory will be required to generate a quarterly disaggregated data extract of all chlamydia tests carried out using Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing (NAAT).

Time period: The extract will cover one calendar quarter, based on the date the SAMPLE is received at the Laboratory.

Frequency: Extracts will run quarterly, 6 weeks after the end of the quarter.

Format: Data returned should be formatted to a comma separated variable (CSV) or MS Excel file.

Transmission: Electronic files will be transmitted to Public Health England through the secure Microbiology and Epidemiology of STI's and HIV (MESH) Departments web portal. Connection to the portal requires a login account name and password which are available from Public Health England.

Mandation

The Mandation column indicates the recommendation for the inclusion of data:

• M = Mandatory: this data element is mandatory and the technical process (e.g. submission of the data set, production of output etc) cannot be completed without this data element being present
• R = Required: NHS business processes cannot be delivered without this data element.
• O = Optional: the inclusion of this data element is optional as required for local purposes.

This page has been updated in DDCN 1645 (Specialised Commissioning: Removal of Default Code YDD82) to remove the National Commissioning Group, as NHS England became responsible for commissioning all specialised services in April 2013.
The page will be updated as part of an Information Standard to reflect the current arrangements for the Commissioning Data Sets.

The Commissioning Data Set Addressing Grid below illustrates which ORGANISATION CODES should be used to populate the CDS PRIME RECIPIENT IDENTITY and CDS COPY RECIPIENT IDENTITY for each PATIENT / NHS SERVICE AGREEMENT.  See the specific ORGANISATION CODE Data Elements for further information on their usage and Organisation Data Service Default Codes etc.

Health Care Providers need to specify the ORGANISATIONS that have a right to the commissioning data set data as a CDS PRIME RECIPIENT IDENTITY or CDS COPY RECIPIENT IDENTITY. This is so that they can access the data once it has been stored in the Secondary Uses Service.

Please note that payment via the National Tariff Payment System is not determined by the CDS PRIME RECIPIENT IDENTITY or CDS COPY RECIPIENT IDENTITY.

Important Notes:

• The CDS PRIME RECIPIENT IDENTITY must be allocated on the first creation and submission of a CDS Type for a PATIENT and must not change even if the ADDRESS or ORGANISATION CODE (RESIDENCE RESPONSIBILITY) of the PATIENT changes during the lifetime of the Commissioning Data Set record otherwise duplicate Commissioning Data Set data may be lodged in the Secondary Uses Service database.
  See the supporting information in Commissioning Data Set Submission Protocol for a detailed explanation.
  
• Note that if two recipients are identical for example, the ORGANISATION CODE (RESIDENCE RESPONSIBILITY) may be the same as the ORGANISATION CODE (CODE OF COMMISSIONER), only one entry for that ORGANISATION should be made for that recipient.
  
• Specialised service ACTIVITY commissioned by a regional Specialised Commissioning Group should include their ORGANISATION CODE as a CDS COPY RECIPIENT IDENTITY. ACTIVITY commissioned by a shared service ORGANISATION  or other consortium of Primary Care Trusts, should similarly include the ORGANISATION CODE of the shared service or the lead Primary Care Trust, if this does not already appear as a CDS COPY RECIPIENT IDENTITY or CDS PRIME RECIPIENT IDENTITY.

Introduction

The Adult Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Programme is an NHS programme in England, which started in 2008, that has transformed treatment of anxiety disorders and depression through the delivery of interventions approved by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).

Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Data Set

The Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Data Set has been developed to support the Adult Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Programme through a regular national return of data. This includes for example: supporting commissioning, service improvement and service design.

The Adult Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Programme is an NHS programme in England, which started in 2008, that has transformed treatment of anxiety disorders and depression through the delivery of interventions approved by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).

The Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Data Set is a PATIENT level, output based, secondary uses data set which aims to deliver robust, comprehensive, nationally consistent and comparable information for PATIENTS accessing NHS-funded Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Services located in England.

As a secondary uses data set, the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Data Set re-uses clinical and operational data for purposes other than direct PATIENT care. It defines the data items, definitions and associated value sets to be extracted or derived from local information systems. These national definitions allow Health Care Providers to extract data from their local systems in a consistent manner, which supports national and local reporting to be undertaken.

The Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Data Set includes information on:

• PATIENT Demographics: including geographical, gender, age, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation and DISABILITY
• Care Pathways: referral details, Mental Health Care Cluster details and Presenting Complaints information
• CARE CONTACTS and CARE ACTIVITIES: SESSION details and any clinical, economic and social outcomes recorded relating to the interventions and coded scored assessments provided
• Waiting Time Pauses: ACTIVITY SUSPENSION periods across the PATIENT's care pathway
• Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Patient Experience Questionnaires: Improving Access to Psychological Therapies treatment and assessment questionnaires
• National Tariff Payment System: Additional data items to support the introduction and development of a payment system for Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Services
• Care Personnel: Qualifications of the Care Personnel delivering treatment.

Further guidance relating to the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Data Set is available on the NHS Digital website: at Improving Access to Psychological Therapies Data Set.

Introduction

This Inter-Provider Transfer Administrative Minimum Data Set specifies the data necessary to permit the receiving Health Care Provider to be able to report the PATIENT's progress along their PATIENT PATHWAY and, in particular, their REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD.

The NHS need to measure and monitor the REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD within PATIENT PATHWAYS to ensure that they are progressing as planned to achieve the 18 weeks target.

In an estimated 10% to 20% of cases, responsibility for the PATIENT PATHWAY will be transferred between Health Care Providers. The receiving Health Care Provider would be unable to report on the 18 weeks target for these cases unless the referring Health Care Provider supplied the PATIENT PATHWAY information at the time of transfer.

This data set specifies the data necessary to permit the receiving Health Care Provider to be able to report the PATIENT's progress along their PATIENT PATHWAY and, in particular, their REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD.

• Completion is mandatory for all PATIENTS with a REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD where there has been a transfer of care to an alternative Health Care Provider.
• Completion is advisable for PATIENTS without a REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD, where there has been a transfer of care to an alternative Health Care Provider, but this is voluntary.
• The referring ORGANISATION should send the data set within 48 hours of DECISION TO REFER DATE (INTER-PROVIDER TRANSFER).
• Inter-provider transfer SERVICE REQUESTS for clinical opinion or diagnostics, where the care of the PATIENT remains with the referring Health Care Provider, are voluntary.
• SERVICE REQUESTS associated with the following PATIENT PATHWAYS are also not currently included:
• • Non-elective PATIENTS
  • Planned admissions (usually part of a planned sequence of clinical care determined mainly on social or clinical criteria, for example, a check cystoscopy).

Where the Inter-Provider Transfer Administrative Minimum Data Set is sent WITH the clinical referral letter it is considered to be complete if the following key data items are included:

• NHS NUMBER
• PATIENT PATHWAY IDENTIFIER
• ORGANISATION CODE (PATIENT PATHWAY IDENTIFIER ISSUER)
• REFERRING ORGANISATION CODE
• REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD START DATE
• REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIOD STATUS (INTER-PROVIDER TRANSFER)

Where the Inter-Provider Transfer Administrative Minimum Data Set is sent independently of the clinical referral letter, ALL mandated Inter-Provider Transfer Administrative Minimum Data Set data items must be completed.

Further guidance on the data set can be found in 'The Inter-Provider Transfer Administrative Data Set Operational Information Standard' and in DSCN 30/2007.

Further guidance and definitions on REFERRAL TO TREATMENT PERIODS and those PATIENT PATHWAYS included within the Consultant-Led Referral to Treatment Waiting Times can be found on the NHS England website at: Consultant-led Referral to Treatment Waiting Times.

Introduction

The NHS Continuing Healthcare Data Set is transmitted at aggregate level to the NHS Digital Strategic Data Collection Service (SDCS) with publication outputs available on the NHS England website at: NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS-funded Nursing Care. 

The Department of Health and Social Care introduced the National framework for NHS continuing healthcare and NHS-funded nursing care in 2007 to establish a consistent and standardised guide to implementing the delivery of NHS Continuing Healthcare (NHS CHC). This was last revised in March 2018 and replaces the previous 2012 version. The National Framework sets out NHS Continuing Healthcare and assessment processes. The latest version places a strong focus on moving assessments outside of an acute setting.

NHS Continuing Healthcare is a package of ongoing care that is 100% funded solely by the NHS where the PERSON has been found to have a ‘primary health need’ as set out in the National framework for NHS continuing healthcare and NHS funded nursing care. Such care is provided to a PERSON aged 18 or over, to meet needs that have arisen as a result of disability, accident or illness.

In order to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of the Framework, a mandatory collection requires the submission of quarterly figures on NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS-funded Nursing Care activity.

The collection includes

• PERSONS aged 18 or over eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare as defined by the National framework for NHS continuing healthcare and NHS-funded nursing care. 
• PERSONS still recognised as eligible under the former Strategic Health Authorities' eligibility criteria.
• PERSONS identified as eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare following assessment of eligibility for Previously Unassessed Period of Care (PUPoC). This includes Previously Unassessed Periods of Care related to the ‘closedown’ announcement made by the Department of Health and Social Care in 2012 in which deadlines were introduced for requesting assessments of eligibility for past periods of care falling between 1st April 2004 and 31st March 2012. This also includes non-closedown Previously Unassessed Periods of Care relating to assessments of eligibility for past periods of care falling after 31st March 2012.

The collection excludes:

• PERSONS funded through other NHS funding streams which are not NHS Continuing Healthcare or NHS-funded Nursing Care
  PERSONS funded under any section of the Mental Health Act. The exception to this is if an individual is funded under a Mental Health Section and eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare under the National Framework eligibility criteria. In these instances the activity related to the NHS Continuing Healthcare package is still included but any activity covered by the Mental Health section should be excluded
• Interim Cases - PERSONS receiving temporary NHS Continuing Healthcare funding pending eligibility decision or PERSONS who have ceased being eligible but are still being funded
• PERSONS under 18 years of age. NHS Continuing Healthcare packages are funded for individuals aged 18 and over only therefore only individuals aged 18 years or over are included in this return.

The NHS Continuing Healthcare Data Set is transmitted at aggregate level to the NHS Digital Strategic Data Collection Service (SDCS) with publication outputs available on the NHS England website at: NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS-funded Nursing Care.

For further information on the NHS Continuing Healthcare Data Set, see the Department of Health and Social Care part of the gov.uk website at: National framework for NHS continuing healthcare and NHS-funded nursing care.
